East TN CRE

Shawn & I do a deep dive into maintaining and improving working relationships between Landlords and Tenants during negotiations about rent.   He's a historian of sorts, as well as a great example of how to be a successful broker and community partner.  https://www.theshoppingcentergroup.com/team/shawn-massey/

@Retail Strategies, JKS Retail Development, TERN CLUB, and local Pastor document their experience this week in #CRE and the latest on how #coronaVirus is impacting their world.

On the journey to capture new customers, and captured by the stellar execution of this local apparel company, I was eager to represent www.Felding.Co in their quest for a new lease.  Along the way I also made a new friend, and our interview documents the journey from start-up, to creating a unique customer experience.   What drives someone to start a retail store when retail is changing so fast?  What drives the need for space?   Listen in, and gain perspective about how this Tenant is going the extra mile to make their customers feel welcome. 

A short re-cap of the previous years highs and lows in retail real estate.  I cover a few of the bankruptcies, & store closings to market forces, legislation, as well as  new stores and emerging technology.  This is the 2019 tool kit to help us get the job done.
